HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

I felt like I was going to cry when I got off the scale. I gained 6.2 pounds....

But after talking to my leader I felt so much better. She told me its ok, you didnt give up. You said you expected a gain and you didnt let that stop you from coming in. Its not an unfixable damage. You just have to get back on track. Sunday is a new day and a new week.

So now its hardcore points. I have my meals planed out for from Sunday to Tuesday. I have my yoga tapes out, my gym machine out and I live on the 3rd floor of a 4 story walk up so I am going to be walking the stairs a lot like it was the stair master.

I dont feel like crying anymore but I am so upset at such a large gain. I worked so hard to loose the weight and this minor set back really hurts.

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

So we'll go for another walk tomorrow? I live off Smart Ones, and I lost 9 pounds...They are on sale in Pathmark, $2.00 a piece.

Don't get sad, you have over a year away. EVen if you lost two pounds a month, it will show a difference.

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

sure I am up for walking tomorrow.

My freezer is stacked with smart ones, but its not good to live off them because your body gets very used to them and the minute you stop eating them you gain it all back.

I have chicken cutlet on the george forman grill and corn with a nice salad planned for dinner and a 2 point smart ones snack for dessert.

tomorrow its my smart ones muffin for breakfast, a nice chicken lunch/dinner and a great treat someone told me today, 1 scoop of 98% fat free bryers ice cream on a fat free ego waffle. mmm..

So its just back on track and sticking to it

Karen i had 2 days worth of points in one meal at Denny's. I had the meat lovers skillet one day which is over 30 points. Another day I had the country fried steak and eggs and that was over 15 points. Lets not forget the many many alcoholic beverages, fried chicken, steak, hero sandwhiches, and cheese doodles I ate. I sure ate a lot

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

It's OK, just feeling guilty for this and knowing that you want to get back on track, you will. Those weigh ins are great for us on WW, I think that if you see you gained, you try and work out more and if you lost, you continue to do what you are doing because obviously it is working!!!

Everything will get back to normal!

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

stay away from salty foods(chinese and pizza) closer to your next weigh in..

also.. i find it good to stock up on those low point dinner...
ww makes them, lean cuisine makes them, and now budget gourmet makes a lean one...

I always lose the week I eat those...(most of them taste good)

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

Thanks.

So far today I have been so good. I even did my yoga tape that has been sitting next to the VCR for about a month untouched.

I even ate a lot of fresh fruits, veggies with dinner and lots and lots of water.

Tomorrow's meals are planned out for the whole day and I am definatly doing my yoga tape as soon as FI leaves for work.

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

I have been on for 25 weeks (since Jan 4) and I have lost 21 pounds, but now I gained six so my total loss is now 15

But I am really sticking to it. I got lots of veggies, fruits and planning my meals in advance.

My goal is to lose at least 2 pounds in a week

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

don't worry ..it happens! And you were on vacation. You still are 15 ponds thinner than when you started! You can totally lose the 2lbs by next weigh in if you good about your points range and keep drinking water!

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

chippa - the denny's food is EVIL!!! we went to FSIL's graduation up at SUNY Geneseo a few weeks ago and we ate 90% of our meals at the denny's!!! super-tasty!!

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

Thanks Future I am so focussed and determined. FI was going to make himself lunch and I yelled at him not to touch my chicken because I have it already accounted for in points for today.

Karen: OMG I Love DENNYS and you are right its EVIL! Thank goodness their are no denny's here because I would be there everyday. I love denny's just for the breakfast. I had the meat lovers one day and the country fried steak one day and I was in heaven. Its one of the only reasons I love FL so much, Denny's

Re: HOLY MOLY HUGE HUGE GAIN!

Awwwww Chippa!!! Don't get down. You will lose it fast. 15 pounds is still awesome. If you think about it that is 3 sacks of potatoes. My WW leader always says people always gain it is just good that you came back. Don't get discouraged. You are still a beautiful person!!!!! Tomorrow is always a new day.
